By GLADYS HARPER me 60Rt.1,Bx 573Grass Valley CNS Ph, 273-8954 Have just returned from avery profitable trip to Paradise and Magalia, California where Mr. Herbert Hugo, vice president of our organization, and myselfhad the honor and pleasure of installing the officers and presenting the charters for two more chapters, One that I am expecially proud of is our second Mobile Home Owners on private property in California. This is the Sierra-Del-Ora Chapter 279 Magalia, California, Sierra-Del-Ora is a large subdivision containing approx. 600 lots ranging from one to 5 acres of land in beautiful pine tree country. Already 450 of these parcels have been sold, and more coming in each week, Some of these homes are in the $20,000 to $25,000 category and really beautiful. The other chapter is in the Sawmill Mobile Park in Paradise, California. This is a smaller park but very lovely, ’ and these nice people are going to open their doors and hearts to the many mobile home owners around them that are living on private land, and believe me this is news as so many of the parks hate those on private land, feeling that all should be in the I think that a person should be allowed to live where he wants to, as long as his place is kept neat and complies with all local and state laws and ordinances, and I can certainly verify that 96 per cent of those on private property do this. Many new laws are in the making at this time that will affect us, and we are gettingorganized in a tighter unit so we can fight those that will affect us adversely, and believe me there are many of these types in the hopper. Will have news from our parks here next week, but Ihave been traveling so many places that I have had no time to contact those that furnish the news. DeGAULLE CALLED It is far too serious a matter to take lightly, but those of us with average ignorance as to the esoteric complexity of international money matters can’t help getting a bit of perhaps perverse satisfaction out of President DeGaulle’s galling dilemma over the fate of the franc. It is too easy to remember the days not long past when Le Grande Charlie was pontificating high in the fiscal stratosphere, imperiously and deliberately creating money crises in other nations, while accepting lavish aid from some. His delusions of glory for France blinded him to economic realities. He now is finding out that as John Donne said of mankind, no nation is an island, and the fiscal bell is tolling for France. As we said, it is no time for gloating, tempting as that may be. The free world must hope that all nations can by their own and mutual endeavors secure their economic position against the serious threats that con_stantly face it. The Nevada County Nugget For the chronic alcoholic, » "sobering up" means more than a headache and an upset stomach, Drinkers who have been alcoholics for several years. or longer may damage their nervous system and develop delirium tremens--colloquially known as the "DT's" or the "shakes," ecaner . As recently at the 1930s, from 20 to 40 per cent of patients hospitalized with delirium tremens died. ~. This statistic is cited by Conrad Acton, MD, of Baltimore, who contrasts the '30s with the ‘60s in describing a new treatment program. Now, he says, fewer than 1 per cent of his alcoholi¢ patients die--although drying them out is still "no push-button business," Dr. Acton has tested his method of treatment on thousands of alconolics admitted to the infirmary ‘of the Baltimore City Jail. Nearly all had delirium tremens, or were on the verge, er . His immediate goal is to control the patient's mental and physical agitation which, if unchecked, can somtimes lead to death, For this purpose a tranquilizer is needed. Dr. Acton has employed, a number of tranquilizingdrugs. One proved to have a too-dangerous side effect; another, although safer, was ineffective in sever cases, But a tranquilizer called Mellaril was potent enough even for severe cased, while causingrelatively few side effects. "Its effectiveness: and safety," Dr. Acton reports, "have been borne out in the treatment of more than 11,000 patients." Once the alcoholic has been calmed, the physician can attend to his secondary ailments, which can be as serious as-U. S, ARMY Lt.
